Corporate Environmental Strategy and Voluntary Environmental Behavior—Mediating Effect of Psychological Green Climate
Open accessAbstract
Given the growing intent to prevent decay in environmental management, the present study seeks to unearth the impact of corporate environmental strategy on employees’ voluntary environmental behavior by regulating or facilitating their perceived psychological green climate. Research problems and research questions are built on the essence of multiple theories—goal-setting theory, social identity theory, and social learning theory for grounding the research model. A total of 294 replies were collected through a self-administered survey from diverse industrial panoramas. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) analytics via AMOS-version 20.0 for measuring the hypothesized results. The study revealed that the corporate environmental strategy is displaying an insignificant direct influence on voluntary environmental behavior. However, the corporate environmental strategy indirectly influences, via the mediation effect, voluntary environmental behavior of employees through their psychological green climate perception. Directions for future research are recommended based on insights from the implications and limitations of the study.

There is no issue of response bias observed in this study.
“Thus, there is no issue response bias observed in this study [93,94].”
From A Study of the Adoption and Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): Identification of Moderators and Mediator (2020) · cites this paper as [93]
Section 5.3 (Response Bias; page unavailable) reports precautions and diagnostic checks in the cited paper’s own study, including a one-factor test in which no factor explained more than 50% of the variance. That supports a limited conclusion about bias in that study, but it cannot establish that no response bias was observed in the citing authors’ study. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
